Clueless in Italy's activity

Questions Asked

Hi.

I have a property in the Italian Alps, it is mortgage free and I was going wondering about the possibility of take a loan out against the house.

It's this something Italian banks look at ?

Hi. Just wondering if anyone has experienced and opinions of the Italian dental service? How did it compare to the UK regarding costs? I am sure the standard works be very good.

Thanks

Hi I am just trying to get a sense of roughly how much the waste tax is in your various areas. 

I think part of the calculation is on the m2 of the property, would this include all outbuildings, the catena etc?

Hi we have just been up to our local commune and collected a form to apply for residency {EU passport holders}

My wife is an EU national {eire} 

As I understand it she can apply in Italy for some sort of permit to stay which gets around the 90 in 180 day issue. 

Does this mean that as her spouse I can then also gain the same status.

Question about pharmacies 

I am currently in Italy but managed to forget my invaluable back tablets. 

Do pharmacies require a doctors prescription are can you purchase medication over the counter.

Hi.

Thanks good point about power cuts.

The property is only for holidays at the moment and was originally built for slot more than the 4 of us 

I will have a look at getting the current soak way system cleared out a bit.

Not sure how easy that will be as the pipe just stops and below is mainly Rocks  etc

I am assuming to let the waste material filter through.

Hi, 

 

Thanks for the reply. I am planning to come over around the 10th July if this lockdown continues too ease.

The property is situated on its own with no neighbors. It was built around 1750.

With regard the soak away is that something that we could have emptied or remove some of the material to help it operate?

The reason for considering the macerator is because the lower levels of the property are about 5 meters below the parcel of land that's away from the stream.

 

Thanks

Sorry predictive txt. Should say"won't stop me eating too much of it"

Hi thanks for the reply. Not sure I wanted to know that about the local cheese! Still won't do me eat far too much of it. 

Our place is completely on its own, no other properties near by.

I think I am going to install a macerator so I can pump the material up and into a septic tank well away from the streams. The kids use them for swimming.

Just wanted to make sure the tank is far enough away. UK/EU regs say 10m so if I am over 50m i hope it's enough.

Are you currently in Italy or planning to get over this summer? If so how are you feeling about the odds of getting there re UK quarantine?

Thanks for the great info. 

I am a little reluctant to speak to the local commune at the moment as I don't have the funds free for a major project.

Is it the sort of info the would have on there website?

 

Thanks

Hi. 

Thanks for the reply 

I am up  towards Alagna.

The pit is located about 10ft from a stream so the risk of something leaching into the water seems too great.

Re a geometra I don't want to start the process or catch the attention of the authorities at this moment and feel if I take to a geometra things could start to move quickly.

 

Thanks

Avoid Switzerland at all costs..

They now have variable speed limits sometimes change 4 times in less than half a mile. All seem designed to catch the unaware. 

Have experience one fine. Cost me 1500euro on the spot and then a follow up sent to me in the UK advising me it was just a deposit and asking for a further 500 euro, within 10 days or it transferred to a prison sentence.

If you don't have to don't, expensive but it is pretty.
